Great reviews AJC. I loved the Grandpa pants in the wool check on you .The fit was perfect and I can't find them online today.The top and capri in navy tweed look great .You could pop a turtleneck under it for a different look. Have you ever tried the sterling skirt ? Thanks

Thanks Marsha, I think Granpa pants are part of the next rollout. I tried the Sterling skirt last year but the fit was a disaster on me, way too big in the hips when the waist fitted. But I have some hope, because I just chatted with CS and this year's measurements are different. I just posted it on JCA but here it goes:Lenght (old 25.25, new 23.625)Waist (old 29.25, new 29.125)Hip (old 40, new 38.75)Sweep (old 46, new 42.75)

So the new skirt is indeed shorter and a straighter cut. This is good news for me, but those who loved the last year's fit may be disappointed.

I love these round-ups -- they are so easy-to-read and helpful! I'm looking forward to finally getting to a store to try some new things out. I haven't been able to get there as much as usual (probably a good thing). :)

Thank you so much for pairing the catalog photo with the real-life photo of each item! That method gives me a much better idea of what the clothing really looks like. I often wonder if I am off in J Crew La La Land when I see things in the store -- they often look yummy in the photos and yucky in reality

i ADORE the collection #2 pencil skirt on you! omg, it is gorgeous on you. i think it is the fit and length that is perfect! and in your last post, the grandpa pants are gorgeous too. in fact i'm clicking over to j. crew right now to check them out. thanks for all this hard work, as i've said before you should be on their payroll!!!!
